Ezekiel 7
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “And you, son of man, Thus said Lord YHWH to the ground of Israel:
Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
2 An end, the end has come on the four corners of the land.
“Mwanadamu, hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo kwa nchi ya Israeli: Mwisho! Mwisho umekuja juu ya pembe nne za nchi.
3 Now [is] the end for you, And I have sent My anger on you, And judged you according to your ways, And set all your abominations against you.
Sasa mwisho umekuja juu yenu nami nitamwaga hasira yangu dhidi yenu. Nitawahukumu sawasawa na matendo yenu na kuwalipiza kwa ajili ya desturi zenu zote za kuchukiza.
4 And My eye has no pity on you, nor do I spare, For I set your ways against you, And your abominations are in your midst, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
Sitawaonea huruma wala sitawarehemu, hakika nitalipiza kwa ajili ya matendo yenu na desturi zenu za machukizo miongoni mwenu. Ndipo mtakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.
5 Thus said Lord YHWH: Calamity, a single calamity, behold, it has come.
“Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Maafa! Maafa ambayo hayajasikiwa yanakuja.
6 An end has come, the end has come, It has awoken for you, behold, it has come.
Mwisho umewadia! Mwisho umewadia! Umejiinua wenyewe dhidi yenu. Umewadia!
7 The circlet has come to you, O inhabitant of the land! The time has come, a day of trouble [is] near, And not the shouting of mountains.
Maangamizi yamekuja juu yenu, ninyi mnaoishi katika nchi. Wakati umewadia, siku imekaribia, kuna hofu kuu ya ghafula, wala si furaha, juu ya milima.
8 Now shortly I pour out My fury on you, And have completed My anger against you, And judged you according to your ways, And set all your abominations against you.
Ninakaribia kumwaga ghadhabu yangu juu yenu na kumaliza hasira yangu dhidi yenu, nitawahukumu sawasawa na matendo yenu na kuwalipiza kwa ajili ya desturi zenu zote za machukizo.
9 And My eye does not pity, nor do I spare, I give to you according to your ways, And your abominations are in your midst, And you have known that [it is] I, YHWH, striking.
Sitawaonea huruma wala sitawarehemu; nitawalipiza sawasawa na matendo yenu na desturi zenu za machukizo miongoni mwenu. Ndipo mtajua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana ambaye huwapiga kwa mapigo.
10 Behold, the day, behold, it has come, The circlet has gone forth, The rod has blossomed, the pride has flourished.
“Siku imefika! Imewadia! Maangamizi yamezuka ghafula, fimbo imechanua majivuno yamechipua!
11 The violence has risen to a rod of wickedness, There is none of them, nor of their multitude, Nor of their noise, nor is there wailing for them.
Jeuri imeinuka kuwa fimbo ya kuadhibu uovu, hakuna hata mmoja wa hao watu atakayeachwa, hata mmoja wa kundi lile, hakuna utajiri, hakuna chenye thamani.
12 The time has come, the day has arrived, The buyer does not rejoice, And the seller does not become a mourner, For wrath [is] to all its multitude.
Wakati umewadia, siku imefika. Mnunuzi na asifurahi wala muuzaji asihuzunike, kwa maana ghadhabu iko juu ya kundi lote.
13 For the seller does not turn to the sold thing, And yet their life [is] among the living, For the vision [is] to all its multitude, It does not turn back, And none strengthens his life by his iniquity.
Muuzaji hatajipatia tena ardhi aliyoiuza wakati wote wawili wangali hai, kwa kuwa maono kuhusu kundi lote hayatatanguka. Kwa sababu ya dhambi zao, hakuna hata mmoja atakayeokoa maisha yake.
14 They have blown with a horn to prepare the whole, And none is going to battle, For My wrath [is] to all its multitude.
Wajapopiga tarumbeta na kuweka kila kitu tayari, hakuna hata mmoja atakayekwenda vitani, kwa maana ghadhabu yangu iko juu ya kundi lote.
15 The sword [is] outside, And the pestilence and the famine within, He who is in a field dies by sword, And he who is in a city—Famine and pestilence devour him.
“Nje ni upanga, ndani ni tauni na njaa, wale walioko shambani watakufa kwa upanga, nao wale waliomo mjini njaa na tauni vitawala.
16 And their fugitives have escaped away, And they have been on the mountains As doves of the valleys, All of them making a noise—each for his iniquity.
Wale wote watakaopona na kutoroka watakuwa milimani, wakiomboleza kama hua wa mabondeni, kila mmoja kwa sababu ya dhambi zake.
17 All the hands are feeble, and all knees go [as] waters.
Kila mkono utalegea na kila goti litakuwa dhaifu kama maji.
18 And they have girded on sackcloth, And trembling has covered them, And shame [is] on all faces, And baldness on all their heads.
Watavaa nguo ya gunia na kufunikwa na hofu. Nyuso zao zitafunikwa na aibu na nywele za vichwa vyao zitanyolewa.
19 They cast their silver into out-places, And their gold becomes impurity. Their silver and gold are not able to deliver them, In a day of the wrath of YHWH, They do not satisfy their soul, And they do not fill their bowels, For it has been the stumbling-block of their iniquity.
Watatupa fedha yao barabarani, nayo dhahabu yao itakuwa najisi. Fedha yao na dhahabu yao havitaweza kuwaokoa katika siku hiyo ya ghadhabu ya Bwana. Hawatashibisha njaa yao au kujaza matumbo yao kwa hiyo fedha wala dhahabu, kwa sababu imewaponza wajikwae dhambini.
20 As for the beauty of his ornament, He set it for excellence, And the images of their abominations, Their detestable things—they made in it, Therefore I have given it to them for impurity,
Walijivunia vito vyao vizuri na kuvitumia kufanya sanamu za machukizo na vinyago vya upotovu. Kwa hiyo nitavifanya vitu hivyo kuwa najisi kwao.
21 And I have given it into the hand of the strangers for a prey, And to the wicked of the land for a spoil, And they have defiled it.
Nitavitia vyote mikononi mwa wageni kuwa nyara na kuwa vitu vilivyotekwa mikononi mwa watu waovu wa dunia, nao watavinajisi.
22 And I have turned My face from them, And they have defiled My hidden place, Indeed, destroyers have come into it, and defiled it.
Nitageuza uso wangu mbali nao, nao waovu wa dunia watapanajisi mahali pangu pa thamani, wanyangʼanyi watapaingia na kupanajisi.
23 Make the chain; for the land Has been full of bloody judgments, And the city has been full of violence.
“Andaa minyororo, kwa sababu nchi imejaa umwagaji wa damu na mji umejaa udhalimu.
24 And I have brought in the wicked of the nations, And they have possessed their houses, And I have caused the excellence of the strong to cease, And those sanctifying them have been defiled.
Nitaleta taifa ovu kuliko yote ili kumiliki nyumba zao, nitakomesha kiburi cha wenye nguvu na mahali pao patakatifu patatiwa unajisi.
25 Destruction has come, And they have sought peace, and there is none.
Hofu ya ghafula itakapokuja, watatafuta amani, lakini haitakuwepo.
26 Disaster comes on disaster, and report is on report, And they have sought a vision from a prophet, And law perishes from [the] priest, And counsel from [the] elderly,
Maafa juu ya maafa yatakuja, tetesi ya mabaya juu ya tetesi ya mabaya. Watajitahidi kupata maono kutoka kwa nabii, mafundisho ya sheria toka kwa kuhani yatapotea, vivyo hivyo shauri kutoka kwa wazee.
27 The king becomes a mourner, And a prince puts on desolation, And the hands of the people of the land are troubled, I deal with them from their own way, And I judge them with their own judgments, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
Mfalme ataomboleza, mwana wa mfalme atavikwa kukata tamaa, nayo mikono ya watu wa nchi itatetemeka. Nitawashughulikia sawasawa na matendo yao na kwa kanuni zao wenyewe nitawahukumu. Ndipo watajua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
